There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for such inhumane treatment of animals, words fail me!
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of
animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated
artifice, man in civilization surveys the creatures through the glass
of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole
image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for
their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And
therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be
measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move
finished and complete gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost
or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not
brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with
ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor
and travail of the earth". - [The Outermost House] - Henry Beston

HORRIFIC cases of neglect and animal cruelty are stretching RSPCA resources to breaking point.
A record number of complaints has swamped the association so far this year, with RSPCA officers called to investigate more than 40 cases a day.
In one of the most appalling incidents, more than 100 dogs were seized from a boarding and breeding kennel last week after being found in squalid conditions.
RSPCA inspectors and police raided premises at Waterford, just south of Brisbane, on Wednesday.
Dogs on the property – including pure-bred poodles, labrador pups and a pomeranian – had not been groomed for some time and were in filthy enclosures.
RSPCA veterinarian Anne Covill said the living conditions were "abysmal", with many dogs suffering skin inflammations and riddled with worms.
"Internal parasites are another issue but it is too early to tell how bad it will be," Dr Covill said. "It's the worst condition I have seen in such large numbers."
RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty said inspectors had received 441 complaints of animal cruelty or breach of duty of care since January 1 in Queensland.
Mr Beatty said the number of calls to the Queensland RSPCA call centre had risen dramatically, due in part to the popularity of television show RSPCA Animal Rescue.
"Before the show aired we were receiving between 9000 and 11,000 calls per month to our call centre," Mr Beatty said. "Since the show aired, our call centre has received about 20,000 calls per month.
"We just wish we had the staff to keep up."
The 101 dogs seized from the Waterford property included six being boarded there by their owners, who were being contacted by the RSPCA. Eight of the dogs had been bought and were to be sent overseas.
Pure-bred poodles sell for between $850 and $3000.
Geraldine Fooi Fong Robertson, 62, is registered with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission as the owner of the "breeding and grooming" business.
A sign at the front of the 2ha property also advertises services including clipping and grooming.
But Beaudesert Shire Council said Mrs Robertson did not hold a valid boarding kennel licence and had been given no environmental authority to conduct such a business in the shire.
The Sunday Mail was present when the RSPCA and police launched their raid armed with a warrant to enter the property.
Mrs Robertson initially refused to allow the inspectors into her house and yelled that negligence claims were "vexatious" and "false".
She relented after being warned her door was about to be kicked down and she could be arrested for failing to comply with the warrant.
Mrs Robertson, who maintained the dogs were well-fed and seen to regularly by a veterinarian, admitted looking after the dogs was hard work on her own.
"I agree it's too much for me," Mrs Robertson allegedly said to inspectors.
RSPCA veterinarians vaccinated and groomed the dogs and will now monitor the animals for any signs of the canine parvovirus.
Inspectors are considering charging Mrs Robertson with breach of duty of care, which carries a maximum 22,500 fine or 12 months' imprisonment.
